that focuses more closely on the life of the Roman poet Horace* Additional and more robust grammar explanations* Revised cartoons--completely redrawn for a college audience--that illustrate grammar points and provide
students with "visual vignettes"* A revised narrative that corresponds to customary U.S. usage and Americanized spelling* A Companion Website at www.oup.com/us/morwood containing grammar and syntax drills, flashcards for vocabulary review, phonetic pronunciations, and instructional materials
